Baby bath, bathing

Now, let's take a bath!
Bathing is not just about cleaning your baby's body, it's also an important time for skin-to-skin contact and showing your love. Make bath time fun by talking to your baby.

What is a bath?

Babies have a fast metabolism and tend to sweat a lot. Immediately after birth, sebum secretion is also high, so it is important to give them a bath every day. We recommend using a baby bath for bathing until they are about one month old.
Baby baths are easier to keep clean than adult baths, and the water pressure does not put a strain on the baby.
Bathing in this baby bath is called "mokuyoku."

Up to how many months after birth?

At the one-month checkup, the doctor will tell you that it's okay to bathe at home, so it seems that this is the time to graduate from bathing. If you are worried about giving your baby a regular bath when they can't hold their head up, one option is to continue using a baby bath.

What time is best to take a bath?

There is no set time for your baby to go to bed. To help establish a regular routine for your baby, make sure to put them to bed at a set time.
Bath your baby regularly, whether it's in the afternoon or evening, according to your family's schedule. However, avoid bathing your baby immediately before or after breastfeeding.

Voices of senior mothers

  • After being discharged from the hospital, I started to get used to the rhythm of his naps, and I realized that this was the time he would sleep the longest, so I started taking naps in the morning before his afternoon nap. He seemed to sleep better when his body was warm, so I would sleep at that time to rest my body.

  • My older child wanted to help take care of the newborn, so we gave him a bath together in the evening. There were some nervous moments, but the baby looked happy when his older sister wiped his face.

Where do you take a bath?

When bathing your baby, choose a place where you can sit comfortably. If you are bathing in a place near a water source (such as the kitchen sink, bathroom, or bath sink), it is easier to just drain the water after using it. It is recommended to use a baby bath with a stopper so that you can just drain the water.

Voices of senior mothers

  • The baby bath I bought didn't have a stopper, so I had to use a bucket to drain the water after bathing, which was a pain, and I got tired of turning it over. I later found out that there were ones with stoppers, and I wish I had bought one with a stopper.

  • In the winter, the bathroom was cold, so I heated the room and placed the baby bath in the kitchen sink, which I had cleaned thoroughly, and gave my baby a bath. It was a comfortable position for my back, so I was able to bathe without any strain.
